Baptist College of Health Sciences received approval from the Tennessee Board of Nursing to offer the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). The first cohort of students to begin the post BSN to DNP Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program is targeted for January, 2018.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice will offer nurses with bachelor’s degrees the opportunity to become nurse practitioners and gain knowledge in leadership, technology, health policy, health systems and more. It can give nurses a chance to advance their careers and develop additional skills. And it further enhances the educational options Baptist College can bring to its students and the community.
Those wanting more information about the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree should visit www.bchs.edu/DNP or contact the acting graduate program chair, Dr. Cathy Stepter, at cathy.stepter@bchs.edu or 901-572-2505.
